Here we go. The desperation to prove a bad game good by calling every other game crap.

No old FF's werent auto attack 95% of the time. There was alot of attacking, but there was alot of using magic, using skills, using limit breaks, using items. Old FF games make you think and strategise while you play. FFXIII urges you to use one button. Its not the same at all.

You keep saying auto-attack 95% of the time.

"Old FF games make you think and strategise while you play" - FFXIII doesnt? Are you sure you played the game? I'm honestly thinking you are just hating for the sake of hating. There is no way you could passed over several of the locations in FFXIII if you just blindly auto attacked.

I dont see how FFIV, FFVII, FFIX, and FFX are any different from FFXIII when it comes to "Strategies". You use attack/fight, use magic, use items and use limit breaks......uuhh that sounds like FFXIII too. Were you doing something other than "Attack, Magic, Item, etc" in old FF game battles that other people werent doing?

Its like your comparing FFXIII to Persona or Shin Megami Tensei rather than the older FF games lol.

Square sped up the battle system so that strategy lied with timing and paradigm shifts. Knowing which classes to use and when to use them is the most important part of the gameplay. Far more so than cycling through the menu.
